Perhaps hardest of all is the vehicle cake. There's just something about all those shapes and circles and squares that drives even the most hardened Shop-a-Lot Davinci to edible clip art with the watermarks still on:

The Michael cake had me thinking. At first I thought it could be a tongue but I wasn't sure what that yellow spot one and then it hit me. Hey maybe that's a surfboard with the sun on it. Too early for coherent thoughts.

Maybe that's what happens to the tractor after it hits a deer with boneless legs. At least they got the colors right.

I kind of like the fun sized bus. I took a fun sized bus in junior high. It does sound better than taking the short bus.

In the name of all things geek, I feel obligated to correct just a small portion of the blog today...it's KITT, not Kit. And the cake rendition, I'm not even sure what that was, but it was neither KITT nor KARR.

I didn't realize that school budgets were so bad that they were making the students who ride the fun-sized buses to school ride bright yellow dolly carts. That school district really has their priorities mixed up. Yikes!

My theory is that when one begins to assemble a CCC (or decorate a giant cookie or bake a cake in a heart pan anytime other than Feb. 14), it acts as a channel for intergalactic waves of badness that overcome any quiescent artistic ability and render the unfortunate person standing over it unable to produce anything recognizable.

"Fun sized bus." Fair takes me back to junior high and high school, that does. Recalling the jokes, I mean.

Most people in my class took a vow (etched in titanium, because that was the gold standard of seriousness then) to never ride a 'fun-sized' bus if it meant walking to Hawaii. Ok, there was an irony epidemic during those years, but you get the idea.

Hey! Knight Rider! I want to see some more Knight rider cake wrecks..or even a Sunday Sweets of Knight Rider! Why you say.. My mentaly deranged 13 yr old daughter is obsessed w Knight rider.... That being said I so enjoy postings! It just makes my day! Lori

I was thinking back to the stone age (my childhood) when no self-respecting kid would ever want a school bus cake. It would have been a mean joke: we'd be thinking "Great, a cake!" But that would be mixed in with the nausea from the reminder that school was starting back soon.

At first glance I thought the wheels on the fun-sized bus were Oreos. Then I realized they were just blobs of black icing (ick). If I ever make a vehicle cake (as a mother of 3 girls, that is highly unlikely) I am going to use Oreos for the wheels. Tasty, and perfectly round.

Oooh I would be so angry at that Knight Rider cake. I would not pay for a giant yellow orb pretending to be KITT lol. They should have just admitted they didn't know how to do a car justice or something sheesh. And love that cute tiny little school bus that only fits one person lol.

Just for kicks and giggles, I went and read every link at the top of the page in "here, here, here...and here" and I'm so disappointed! The second half of them are just repeats. :( Well, that's what I get for being curious. xD

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
